In the drawings. wherein. 0 theofillustratiomthereisshownaw ferred embodiment of the invention, the reference numeral 28 generally designates the supporting structure somewhat similar in construction to the supporting structure shown in our application Serial No. 707,958, filed January 23, 1934.

The supporting structure, as shown in Figures 1 and .2, includes a stationary table 28 which is mounted on suitable legs 38 and is provided with a centrally located upstanding rotatable tubular shaft 82. A hollow shaft 84 is rotatably mounted in the shaft 32 and supported at its lowermost end through the medium of the cross-member 31 secured to the legs 38. To the shaft 84 there is secured a gear 88, which gear is driven by means of the pinion gear 88 through the medium of the motor 48.

Fixed on the upper end of the tubular shaft 82 is a rotary horizontal table 42 in which radial vacuum controlled chucks 44 are journaled in upstanding bearings 48. To'the tubular shaft 82 there is keyed a Geneva gear mechanism 48, which, as clearly illustrated, is disposed between the support and the rotary horizontal table 42. It will thus be seen that the rotary table 42 is intermittently rotated through the medium of the Geneva gear mechanism 48, which gear mechanism is rotated by means of the electric motor 58. To the upper end of the hollow vertical shaft 84, which extends rotatably through the shaft 82, there is secured a beveled gear 52 which drives the beveled gears 54 secured to the ends of the chucks for effecting rotary movement of the chucks. A manifold 58 on the upper end of the hollow shaft, 34 connects the vacuum supply controlling the vacuum actuated chuck to the vacuum Q to the lower end portion thereof. It will be seen,

as illustrated in Figure 1, that the intermittently rotated table 42 is provided with a plurality of spacedly arranged radial chucks, the table on the underneath side thereof below each chuck having a socket 64 for the reception of the spring actuated locking bolt 88 mounted on the platform 28.

As illustrated in Figure 4, the bolt 88 is slidable 28. Projecting laterally from the bolt 66 is an arm I8 having joumaled thereon a roller I2 for engagement by a cam I4 on the lower side of the disk I8 of the Geneva gear mechanism 48. The arm I8 is operable in a vertical slot 88 in the cylinder 88, the arm being normally urged upwardly in operative position through the medium of the coil spring 88.

Referring now to Figures 2 and 6, it will be seen that the intermittently rotatable table 42 is provided with the upstanding bearings 48 in which there is rotatably mounted the hollow shaft 82 which is driven through the medium of gears 52 and 54. A bored shaft 84 is snugly slidable in the shaft 82, and is provided with a disk 88 on the outer end thereof, which disk is provided with a centrally disposed hollow screw threaded nipple 88 on the outer surface thereof. A head 88 is screw threaded on the nipple 88 and in combination with the plate 82 supports the vacuum cup 84. As clearly illustrated, the vacuum cup 84 is adapted to firmly secure the plate A removably on the supporting plate 82. The outer end of the hollow shaft 82 is threaded, and has screw threaded thereon a head 86 which is held in position by means of the collar 88. To the inner face of the head 88 there is secured 8.

washer I88, which washer is adapted in the innermost position of the chuck to close the ports I 82 communicating with the interior of the nipple 88, and the cup 84. The cup supporting member I84 is provided with a centrally located bore, which bore communicates the cup with the interior of the nipple 88. To the disk 86 there is secured an L-shaped resilient member I88, for limiting the outward movement of the supporting plate 82 and forming a frictional drive between the head 86 and the plate 82.

It will thus be seen that when the disk 88 is in the position illustrated in Figure 6, the washer I88 closes the ports I82, to the end that through the medium of the vacuum machine, and the bore in the shaft 84, the air is sucked out of the cup 84 creating a vacuum and firmly securing the bottom portion of the plate in position on the cup 84.

When it is desired to remove the plate A from the chuck, the operator pulls the plate outwardly, the shaft 84 sliding in the hollow shaft 82, the ports I82 being opened to atmosphere, thereby breaking the vacuum and permitting of the removal of the plate from the chuck.

At this point it is thought well to note that one or more stations of the machine is provided for loading and unloading of the ware, such as plates or the like, the remaining stations through the medium of the applicators which will be subsequently described, applying the stripes or bands of different characters in succession to the ware at the indexing thereof.

As illustrated in Figure 6, at the loading and unloading station there is provided a novel means for centering the ware, such as plates or the like. Obviously, it is necessary that the plate be properly centered on the chuck prior to the application of the stripe or band thereto, and this is effec'ted through the medium of a novel automatically operated centering device. To the lower side adjacent the periphery of the support 28 at the loading and unloading stations there is securely fastened by means of bolts I I8, or the like, an arm II2 which carries the centering mechanism. It will be seen that the lower portion of the arm II2 has an integral split sleeve H4 thereon for sliding and rotary adjustment of the shaft .I I8 supporting the centering device. The free end of the shaft I I8 is similarly provided with a collar I2I permitting of the vertical adjustment of the supporting shaft I28 of the centering mechanism. Thus. the shaft I28 may be adjusted not only horizontally, but vertically, as'

well as in a rotary direction. To the upper end of the shaft I28 there is provided an integral collar I21 carrying the rotary shaft I25. On the inner end of the shaft I25 there is eccentricaily mounted a roller I28. which roller contacts the periphery of the plate for effecting the centering thereof. The other end of the shaft I25 is pro vided with an arm I8I, which arm through the medium of the link I38 is rotated by means of the electrically controlled vacuum actuated motor I84. As will be more fully hereinafter described, at the indexing of the respective chucks, at the loading and unloading station, the shaft I25 is automatically rotated, to the end that upon the placing of a plate A on the chuck, the same is automatically centered.

It will thus be seen that intermittent rotation of the table 42 is' effected through the medium of the Geneva gear mechanism 48, while at the same time constant rotation of the chucks carry- Ill) ing the were is effected through the medium of the shaft 34.

Referring now to Figure 2, as clearly illustrated, there is secured to the support 28 an applicator station generally designated by the reference numeral II5. While there is shown in the drawings only one of such applicator stations, it is to be understood that a plurality of such stations may be, and are. employed for applying stripes or hands of diflerent widths and colors to the ware as the same is intermittently rotated by means of the table to the diiferent stations. To the lower side of the table 28 the applicator station is secured by means of the arm II8, which arm is provided with 2. Split collar I20 for adjustably supporting the rod I22. The rod I22 has an integral L-shaped' support I24 on its outer end on which there is slidable vertically the L-shaped carriage I2. It will be seen that the carriage I26 is adjustable vertically with respect to the member I24 by the crank arm I28. Upon the carriage I24 there is adjustably slidable the applicator supporting table I30. Through the medium of the crank arm I32 this table I may be horizontally adjusted with respect to the chuck carrying the ware. At the same time, the table I39 is pivotally adjustable on the carriage I26 through the medium of the screw connection "I. Clearly, therefore, the table I30 may be adjusted with respect to the chucks and the work vertically, horizontally in both directions, and rotatably. 0n the upper surface of the table or support I30 as shown in Figure 9, are upstanding pillars I40, which pillars support or carry the spider I" in which the motor for rotating the table is mo1mted,

The table I46, as illustrated in Figure 15, is rotatably journaled in a bearing I48 and has on its lower side thereof an armature I50, of the synchronous electric motor. The electric motor is supplied with electric energy through the conductors I52 and while there is shown for the purpose of illustration the well known type of electric motor for driving the disks of phonographs, it is to be understood, of course, that any type of motor or driving means may be employed. A paint container I58 is securely fastened for rotary movement on the upper surface of the table I46, and, as clearly illustrated in Figure 19, has arranged therein a rotary pump III. It will be observed that the pump is of the rotary gear type, as shown in Figures 19 and 20, and is supported within the container by the depending arm I62 secured to the lateral support I 54 mounted on the upstanding member Iii of the table. Rotation of the gears and operation of the pump I is effected by the arm I58 which is rotated by means of the pin I'll eccentrically disposed in the container. Thus, upon rotation of the table I46, the actuating arm I80 is retated to effect a pumping operation of the pump I60 to force the paint from the container I58 through the hose connection I12 to the applicatorwheel. At the same time, it is 'to be observed that the depending pump supporting arm I62 upon rotation of the container brings about and causes a thorough mixing of the paint therein. ,While any type of pump may be em ployed, for the purpose of illustration there is shown the well known gear type which includesa casing I80 having rotatably secured therein meshing gears I82 and I84.

The support I30 adjacent the sides atthe front portions thereof have upstanding supports I30. These supports I98 have through the medium of the bolts I92 arms I94 secured thereto iii-which there is slidably mounted the traversing rod I". As shown in Figure 8, an arm I98 is securely fastened to the traversing rod I9 and is slidably and rotatably adjustable thereof for carrying the upstandingapplicator arm I99. The applicator arm support I98 is connected to the arm I 39 by means of the screw bolt 200, permitting of a rotary adjustment of the arm I99 with respect to the arm I98, thereby permitting of the applicator wheel to be adjusted in this respect in relation to the surface of the ware.

As illustrated in Figure 23, the applicator wheel is rotatably mounted on a novelly constructed bearing carried by the arm 202 securely fastened to the upper end of the arm I99. Referring to Figure 23, wherein this hearing is shown in, detail, it will be observed that the spindle 2" is screw threaded in the arm 202 and is frusto-conical in shape at its outer end, merging into a reduced cylindrical end portion. Upon the spindle 2" a similarly shaped bore is provided in the hub 2I2 which carries the applicator disk 2. The spindle 2I0 is provided with a longitudinally extending screw threaded bore into which there is screw threaded the retaining bolt 2I6 having a frusto-conical shaped head and which is received in the tapered end of the hub 2 I2, v

Obviously, when the hub 2I2 is placed on the spindle 2" for rotary movement thereon, the amount of play may be adjusted through the medium of the'screw bolt 2I6, and at the same time a vernier adjustment may be effected and locked through the medium of the set screw 220 which is screwthreaded into the threaded bore in the spindle through the contacting of its inner end with the inner end of the bolt 2I6. The applicator disk 2 I4 is secured to the hub 2 I2 through the medium of-the plate 224 which is screw threaded to the hub by the screwbolt 22s. It

is to be noted that this novel construction permits of the easy removal of an applicator wheel from the hub for cleaning purposes or if so desired to replace or place wheels of larger or smaller sizes thereon.

The applicator wheel is rotated by the flexible shaft 230 which is driven through a variable speed mechanism connected to the electric motor 323. Referring to Figure 8, it will be noted that the electric motor 232 is secured to its supporting arm 234 on which arm 234 there projects an arm 236 having a pivotally mounted arm 238rthereon. 0n the free end of the arm 238 there is rotatably mounted a disk 240 to which one end of the flexible shaft is connected. The disk 240 is rotated by the contacting thereof with the disk 242 secured to the drive shaft of the motor 232. The disk 240, as will be observed, is normally maintained in driving contacting relationship with the disk 242 of the motor shaft by the coil spring 244. Thus, the applicator wheel through the medium of the motor, the friction drive, and the flexible shaft, is constantly rotated. However, in order to maintain the speed viously, ifso desired, the wheel'may be directly rotated by the ware.

On one'side of the arm 202, as shown in Figure 19, below the applicator wheelthere is secured a trough 250, which trough in combination with the overhanging stationary trough 252 supported by the arm 254 returns the paint from the applicator wheel to the container. The bottom portion of the trough 250 is apertured, and receives the upper end of the hose I12 for supplying the paint to the applicator wheel upon the pumping action of the pump. Adjacent the upper end of the arm 202 there is secured a pair of laterally extending spaced scraper supports 260. The scraper 262 which is provided with a substantially rectangular-shaped recess therein receives a portion of the periphery of the wheel in assuming a straddling relation with respect thereto and is carried by the lower arm 260. A set screw 266 enables the lower arm 260 to be adjusted with respect to the upper arm for adjusting the scraper 262 with respect to the applicator wheel to control the amount of paint carried by the applicator wheel and consequently the amount of paint applied to the ware.

It might be noted at this point that the hose I12 has a pipe I" secured thereto extending through an aperture in the trough 250, the free paint emitting end being adjustable spacedly relative to the periphery of the wheel for controlling the amount of fluid supplied to the wheel.

, Swinging movement of the arm I99 and consequently the applicator wheel is efiected by means of the crank arm 210 secured to the projected end of the traversing bar I36, This movement of the rod I99,-the relative position of the applicator wheel with respect to the work, and the period of time the applicator wheel is in engagement with the ware is controlled through the medium of the vacuum motor 230. The vacuum motor may be any of 'the well known types of vacuum motors such as are employed for driving windshield wipers in motor vehicles or in fact any driving mechanism and is provided with an actuating arm 282 connected by means of the link 2 to the arm 210, whereby upon actuation of the vacuum motor, the link efiects a forward and return horizontal movement of the applicator wheel with respect to the ware. The applicator wheel being held in position against the ware by the coil spring 286. The vacuum motor is connected with a source of vacuum supply,- not shown, through the conduit 288, and, as clearly shownin Figure 17, has its valve element 230 electrically controlled by the electro magnets which will be more fully hereinafter described.

It has thus been seen that the pivotal movement of the applicator wheel with respect to the ware may be eifected to vary the contacting period of the applicator wheel to the ware.

In order to permit of bands or stripes of.

different widths to be applied to the ware, there is arrangeda novel mechanism for eflecting the traversing of the applicator wheel with respect to the ware. To the under side of the support I30 as shown in Figures 13 and 14, there is securely fastened a laterally extending supporting structure 234 on which there is mounted the mechanism for eflecting the traversing of the traverse rod I96. Mounted on this support adjacent the projecting end portions of the traversing rod I96 there is a substantially U-shaped member 296 having one leg shorter than the other thereof and on which there is pivotally mounted in overlapping relationship the arms 300 and 302. The lower arm 302 at substantially its mid point on the underneath side thereof has pivotally mounted a roller 304, which roller is in contacting relationship with a cam 306 mounted on the gear 300 which is revolved through the medium of the pinion gear 3I0 In mesh therewith. It will be seen, as shown in Figure 2, that the gear 3I0 is rotated by the flexible shaft ;3I2 driven by means of the gear 3 from theshaft of the disk 16 of the Geneva gear mechanism.

On the upper arm 300 there is arranged a slidable collar 3I6 having rotatably secured on the underneath side thereof a roller 320, which roller is in contacting relationship with the adjacent side of the lower pivoted member 302. Referring now to Figure 13, it is seen that the projected end portion of the traversing rod I96 is provided with an inwardly directed bore in which there is slidable a bolt 3I9. The arm 210 has a recess therein, in which there is slidable a guide member 324, the upper end of the guide member being apertured and receiving the screw bolt 3I9. The upper end of the guide member, as illustrated, is secured to the bolt through the medium of the nut 326 and a lock coil spring encircles the bolt 3I9 and is disposed between the bolt and the adjusting nut 330, to the end that upon adjustment of the adjusting nut 330 the position of the traversing rod may be regulated with respect to the traversing mechanism,

and consequently the relative position of the applicator wheel with respect to the ware may be controlled. This is in the nature of a vernier adjustment permitting of minute setting of the rod and the consequent setting of the applicator wheel.

As is illustrated. the pivotally mounted arm 300 abuts the free end of the screw member 3", whereby, upon movement of the member 300 through the medium of the pivotal member 302, a traversing or horizontal sliding movement of the rod I96 is effected. Upon rotation of the gear 3I0 and a consequent rotation of the gear 306, the cam effects a movement of the pivotal member 302 and at the same time a corresponding movement of the member 300. of course, the travel of the member 302 upon rotation of the cam 306 through the contacting of the roller 304 is substantially the same in one cycle, the travel of the member 300 being controlled by the positioning of the roller and collar 3I6 on the member 300 with respect to the member 302.

Referring to Figure 11, it will be seen that the coil spring I91 connected at one end to' the arm I96 and at the other end to the collar 340 on the traversing rod, normally urges the traversing rod into contacting relationship with the, pivotal member 300. 7

As hereinbefore set forth, the traversing mechanism is controlled through a direct connection with the Geneva gear mechanism,'to the end that when the chuck carrying the ware reaches an applicator station and in indexing position, the shape of the cam is such that a traversing movement of the rod I96 is effected, to bring about a traversing movement of the applicator wheel with respect to the ware so that bands of varying widths may be applied to the ware. Of course, the width of the band may be varied and controlled by regulating the position of the col-- lar 3I6 on the member 300, which, of course, varies the amount of traversing travel of the rod I96, and, of course, the applicator wheel. When so desired, the collar 3I6 may be moved to its outermost much which in effect maintains the painting bands on the same plate or other ware of different widths; one applicator station may be regulated to place what is commonly called a hair line, while another may be set for a broad line, and still another for a narrower one, as desired, as well as bands of difierent colors.

Referring now to Figure 17, as illustrated, the applicator wheel is controlled by means of the vacuum motor 230, the valve 2!! of the vacuum motor being actuated by means of the magnets 35. and 352. As clearly shown in Figure 17, the magnets 35. are supported in spaced relationship on a supporting member 354 and have disposed therebetween the magnet 352 which is pivotally mounted on the pin 35. To the magnet 355 there is secured an actuating 'arm 353, which is received in a substantially U-shaped recess 36! in the pivotally mounted valve member 352. The vacuum motor is of the usual construction and provided with three ports 355, which are controlled by the valve member 352 for controlling the operation of the motor. The motor is connected by means of the conduit 31! to a vacuum source of supply. It will thus be seen that upon the proper energization of the respective magnets the timing and speed of movement of the applicator wheel with respect to the work can be controlled. In the same manner the centering device is controlled through the medium of a similarly constructed and actuated vacuum motor I34. Obviously, any kind of control mechanism may be employed, the specific mechanism being merely shown for the purpose of illustration.

Referring now to Figures 24 and 25, there is schematically illustrated the wiring diagram for controlling the energization of the magnets 3 53 and 352 of the vacuum motors 233 and 34 controlling the operation of the applicator wheel and the centering device, respectively. As clearly shown, in Figure 2, on the shaft 43 which drives the disk 16 of the Geneva gear mechanism, there is provided a plurality of cams. One set of cams designated on the drawing are for controlling the magnet of the vacuum motor which controls and actuates the applicator wheel. These cams are designated as reverse, forward, back, delay, centering, and delay, there being provided a separately spaced cam for the centering. As illus-- trated, the cams actuate their associated respective arms 333 which, as shown in Figure 25, move the spring contact members 333 secured to the support 332 of the switches to their associated stationary electrical contacts 334. Normally the spring contact 333 of each switch is in electrical contacting engagement with the other spaced stationary electrical contact 335. The respective supports 3.52 of the switches designated t, 2, 3 and 4, which are of the same construction, are mounted upon a bracket 433, which bracket is suspended from the support 23 through the medium of the bolt 432. It will be seen that the switch I which is actuated by its respective cam 331 comprises two of such switch members as illustrated in Figure 25. and lower contacts 395 and 353 are respectively connected together through the mediinn of the conductors 435 and 433. That is to say, the upper contact of one switch is connected to the lower contact of the other, and vice versa.

As illustrated, the upper The terminal 4" of one of the pair of switches comprising switch I is connected by means of a conductor 2 to the line terminal 4. The other terminal 423 is connected by means of conductor 422 to a similar terminal'on switch-2. This terminal is further connected by means of conductor 424 to terminal 426 of switch 3, which terminal in turn is connected by means of conductor 423 to one of the contacts of switch 4.

As hereinbefore set forth, in the operation of the machine, if so desired, a plurality of such applicator stations may be provided. However,

for the purpose of illustration, only one of such applicator stations has been shown. It is to be noted that this master control is arranged to control automatically the operation of each applicator station. In this connection there is provided a master switchboard 443, which has one male switch receiving socket 442 for eachapplicator station employed. That is to say, the schematic diagramillustrated in Figure 24 shows the electrical connections for only one applicator station. However, the switchboard 440 is provided with one female switch receptacle 442 for each station, all of the female switch receptacles, of course, being connected in parallel adapted to receive the male plugs 444 of the magnetic control shown in Figure 1'? of each vacuum motor, controlling the operation of the applicator arm. Of course, it is to be noted thatone of such male plugs is provided for energizing the magnets controlling the operation of the vacuum motor for the centering device, the centering device being located at the loading and unloading station or stations.

Each electrical switch 442 has four male receiving electrical sockets, numbered respectively I, 2, 3, and 4, and there is provided a pivotally mounted switch arm S having associated therewith three cooperating spaced stationary electrical contacts A, B, and C. As illustrated in Figure 24, the windings 35B of the stationary magnet are connected in parallel and respectively to contacts 2 and 4 of the switch receptacle 442. The free end terminals of the windings 352 of the centrally disposed movable magnet are respectively connected by conductors H5 and 4|! to conductors I and 3 of the switch receptacle442.

Terminal l of the switch 442 is connected by means of conductors 4|! to terminal 393 of the switch i. Terminal 3 of switch 442 is connected by conductor 42! to a terminal which is connected to conductor 406 of switch I. Terminal A of the switch S is connected by conductor 439 to a terminal connected to conductor 2 of switch 2, and terminal B of the switch is connected by conductor to the movable contact arm of switch 3, while terminal C of the switch is connected by conductor 485 to the movable contact arm of switch 4. The other conductor 433 of the source of supply is connected to the stationary contact 425 of switch 2, while switch arm S is connected to terminal 4 of switch receptacle 442 by conductor 434.

Thus, depending upon the position of the switch S, whether on its associated contacts A, B, or C. the period of time of the engagement of the applicator wheel to the ware can be controlled. For examp.e, the pair of switches l, which are controlled by the arm 333 of the reverse cam, control the direction of flow of the current through the coil 352. With the switch arm S on contact A, it will be seen that coils 350 are energized in such a manner that they always have the same polarity, the movement of the valve being effected through the reversing of the u well as coil 350, thereby operating the valve of flow of current and consequently the reversal of polarity of the coil 352. With switchS on contact A, the reverse cam actuatesthe pair of switches I to control the direction of how of current through coil 352. For example, if the applicator arm is in a backward inoperative position, the contacting of the reverse cam with its cooperating arm moves the pair of switches I into position to energize coil 352 to cause the current to flow in an opposite direction. This cam is so arranged to actuate switches I to place the same in position for the proper energization in one direction or the other of coil 352 during the indexing. Upon the ware reaching the indexed position, switch 2 is actuated by the'forward cam, the operation thereof energizing magnets 350 and magnet 352, thereby moving the valve mechanism of the vacuum motor causing the applicator arm to be moved to a forward position into contacting engagement with the work. It will be seen that if'the reverse, delay. and cen tering cams which also cooperate with the arm of switch 2 move into contacting engagement with their cam arms, nothing will happen for the reason that the cam operatingswitches 3 and l are not in the electrical circuit. Likewise, the

centering cam is not eflective. The cams are so arranged that upon substantially a completion of the work cycle the reverse cam again actuates switch I to place the winding of magnet 352 in a circuit for reversal of flow of current therein, and consequently a reversal of polarity thereof. Then, upon actuation of switch 2 through the contacting of its cam arm with the back cam, coil 352 is energized in a. reverse direction, moving the valve control mechanism of the vacuum motor to a position to move the applicator arm to its backward inoperative position. The. machine then indexes.

With the switch arm S on contact B, the reverse cam actuates switches I in the same manner as previously described with respect to the switch arm on position A. That is to say. during indexing, the reverse switch actuates switches I, placing the winding 352 in position to be energized for a forward movement of the applicator arm. Position B of the switch arm S is arranged to permit of a. delay of the movement of the applicator arm after the indexing position into position with the ware. It might be noted at this time that the reason for having a quick and a delayed action of the applicator wheel with respect to the work is to permit of, for example, the engagement of the applicator wheel with the ware for a longer period to permit of making stripes of varying widths, and also to limit the period of contacting of the applicator wheel with the ware for line stripes, it being obvious that the period of time and engagement of the applicator wheel with the work for making fine stripes requires a much shorter period than in the case of making wide bands and the like. Therefore, when the switch arm is on switch B, even though switch 2 is in position for forward energization of the coil 352, coils 35. cannot be energized because of the actuation of switch 3 which is actuated by the delay cam. For example, upon a completion of about one-half of an operating or working cycle at the indexed position, switch 2 is closed by the delay cam energizing coil 352, as

the vacuum motor to move the applicator wheel to a forward position. fected for the reason that the delay, cam operating switch 3 has been permitted to close and This operation is ei'- make contact. The; applicator wheel then engages the work for the remaining portion of the cycle, and upon completion of the cycle the reverse cam reverses the position of switch I, the back cam actuating switch 2 reversing the current in coil 352, coils 350 having the same polarity moves the valve mechanism to a position to reverse or move the applicator wheel to an inoperative backward position.

With the switch arm on contact C, the energization of the magnets is eifected in substantially the same manner as previously described, with the exception that the cam operating switch 4 operates through a smaller fraction of the work cycle permitting of the applicator wheel to engagethe work for only a small fraction of the cycle thereof. Inthe operation of the machine the applicator wheel is controlled normally in only two positions of the switch 8, namely, A and 13, while position 0 of the switch is used for operating the centering device.

It is thought advisable to again call attention to the fact that Figure 24 merely illustrates the schematic wiring diagram for the operation of only one applicator station, and the centering device. As previously set forth, there are provided as many male receiving receptacles 2 as there are stations employed, to the end that for example if there are four applicator stations and one station for loading and unloading. at which the centering device is arranged, station I may be employed for placing wide bands on a plate or the 1ike,-and if such is the case, the switch arm 8 for that station will be positioned on contact A, whereby the applicator wheel engages the plate throughout substantially the work cycle.

At the same time, another of the remaining stations may have the switch arm in position A or position B, depending upon the type ofband desired, to the end that the respective stations may be used for successively placing a plurality of diilerent types of bands on the same piece of work.

As clearly illustrated, the traversing mechanism is actuated from the Geneva gear mechanism through the gear 3 and the flexible shaft 3I2 and normally rotates the gear 3 carrying the cam 326. When at a particular station it is desired to place a band of-a particular width on a piece of ware such as a plate or the like, the collar 3| is set at a predetermined position on the arm 3" to control the traversing movement of the rod I through the medium of its movement thereof by the cam 3", arm 332, and arm 3". Obviously, for a fine adjustment the same may be obtained through the medium of the adjusting nut 33'. As clearly illustrated, when the plate or ware reaches the indexed position in front of the applicator station, the cam control mechanism operates the vacuum motor moving the applicator arm to a forward position whereupon the applicator. wheel engages the plate. At the same time, the rotation of the cam 30 through the medium of the gear 3 contacts the roller 3 moving the arm 302 inwardly into contacting engagement with the roller 323 cffecting a traversing movement of the rod Ill through the medium of the arm 3", to the end that the applicator wheel traverses the plate or ware placing a band or stripe of predetermined width thereon. Upon completion oi the cycle the arm is brought to reverse position by the electrically actuated vacuum motor, and at the same time the cam 30' has completed its cycle permitting of the traversing rod through the medium of the coil spring I91 to be returned to its original position, it being noted that at the same time the arms at and 3|! through the contacting with the free end of the traversing rod I96 and the action of the coil spring I" are returned to their original positions. The wire is then moved to another station where, if so desired, a stripe of the same character or difierent character adjacentthe first stripe may be placed thereon by the applicator wheel. The ware moves continuously and intermittently in this manner until the same reaches the unloading station. whereupon the ware is removed and another piece of ware placed thereon, the same being properly centered by the automatic operation of the centering device previously described. It might be noted in this connection that the operator places the plate or other ware in position against the chuck, the edge thereof, as clearly illustrated in Figure 6, resting upon the eccmtrically mounted roller I28 and through the medium of the vacuum motor I, which is controlled by the previously described mechanism, the roller I28 is rotated througha cycle, moving the plate to its proper centered position. Upon the proper centering through the cycle of operation of the roller I28, the roller gradually leaves the periphery of the plate, whereupon the chuck is moved to an indexed position in front of the first applicator station. As illustrated, the first applicator vacuum motor and the centering vac.- uum motor are wired in parallel, so that roller 28 is raised and lowered in unison with the inward and outward movement of the first applicator. Of course, any other sequence 01' operation may be obtained if so desired.

Obviously, the predetermined positioning of the collar M6 on the arm 300 enables bands or stripes of varying widths to be placed on the ware, it being noted that when the collar iii is pushed to its outermost position, the rotation of the cam 306 does not effect a movement of the arm Ill, to the end that this setting of the collar Iii permits the applicator wheel to be used for placing stripes of a hairline character on the ware, the traversing rod and the applicator wheel remaining in a stationary position.

While there is shown for the purpose of H- lustration a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be specifically understood that it is capable of various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, and it is intended, therefore, that only such limitations shall be imposed thereon as are indicated in the prior art or the appended claims.
